Upon arrival, the wonderful smell of smoked meat permeates the air. Service was good. I bought a chopped pork plate, Brunswick stew and cold slaw as well as BBQ sandwiches with chips. The chopped pork was on the dry with little sauce on the side. The Brunswick stew had a good taste but was more broth than meat and veggies. The cold slaw was creamy and good. BBQ sandwiches were good with a little extra sauce.

Food was great, very large portion. $8.99 got 2 massive BBQ sandwiches, chips and a drink. My only reason I didn’t give 5 stars on the food is the bbq sauce. I’m a huge sauce fanatic, however I’m not the biggest vinegar base fan. They didn’t have a tomato based sauce. The smoke bbq was very tasty on its own. I would highly recommend it.

Mediocre. The barbecue had no smoke. Coleslaw was mediocre. The only thing I liked was the pickle.

Ribs and chicken were good. Baked beans weren’t straight from the can, they had some added ingredients like chopped onion. Brunswick stew was fresh and hot when I received it, it also was really good. Not too thick, not too thin of a stew. The service was extremely quick. I would definitely definitely try it again

Somewhat disappointing. Coleslaw was very finely diced. So was the brunswick stew was almost pureed, may have been able to drink it through a straw. It was very flavorful though.

I was deeply disappointed in this place. We ordered BBQ plates and asked for chopped bbq. It looked like it had been thrown in a blender on puree. The Brunswick stew is just broth with a few bits of corn thrown in. You can get a better pork sandwich at Buc-ee’s. Our 1st time eating here and last.

Went in to grab a couple of chopped BBQ sandwiches for they road and a sweet tea. Sandwiches were good and the tea refreshing. Not busy the day we were in there. Outdoor dining for those that are COVID cautious. Also, drive through in side of building. I’ll have to go back when I have time to order a proper meal and sit down to enjoy.
